  2. This article caught my attention because the mother and son change their gender at the same time, they become father and daughter. now there are two fathers in the house?
    The husband agrees, but now what is his sexuality?
    How do the other children take these extreme changes?
    This family are taking strong sections of psychological therapy!!!
    As you see I have many questions about how they can become a normal family after these changes!!!!!

    1. I found an article in the NY Times about women recovering from alcoholism and drug abuse and the photographer that documented their recovery. It is a very interesting read and I recommend people to check it out.

  5. This article caught my attention because the LGBT community continues to be brought down and not respected, this article shows how this pastor was denied the opportunity for her to express her opinions at a greeting for the United Methodist Church.
